'''Tarah''' is the Goddess of Harmony and Compassion. Her followers are beckoned gently to a path of greater understanding, always with the greater Good as highest consideration. They weigh their options carefully and act deliberately.

 

Tarah's teachings use the metaphor of the Ripples - placing a pebble in just the right spot, to create ripples in just the right places. Her followers are expected to consider their options carefully, and to act deliberately, knowing whatever actions they take may have impacts far beyond the self.

 

The Concordium falls into three groups: the support of Good and bringing people of darkness into the light; Harmony that exists within nature including the difference between nature and sentient life; and observing Compassion through engaging Evil in combat, offering a quick and clean death to one's foes. In every group the common thread is that the result - the greater Good - is the most important thing, but that the ends and the means have a Harmony of their own that cannot be ignored.

 

Tarah delights in small things - snapdragons, chocolates, the smell of rain before a storm, the changing of the seasons. One of Her symbols is of concentric circles, denoting the Ripples. Another is a silver dolphin leaping against a deep blue background, representing the unbounded joy and contentment of a soul in complete Harmony with itself and its environment, and unhindered by selfish pride.

 

She is known as the Lady of [[Lake Vundamere|Vundamere]] where Her temple resides.
